Chapter 569: Breaking the Water

Li Yang followed Zhang Liang's suggestion, personally wrote a letter, and ordered someone to send it to Zhang Hua in Changshan.

Although he felt that what Zhang Liang said was very reasonable and the possibility was very high, Li Yang still felt that it was safe and did not let Tai Shici rush directly to Changshan.

After Zhang Hua gave an affirmative answer, he would let Tai Shici act.

Zhang Hua can plunder materials on a large scale, but Li Yang cannot, after all, Li Yang wants long-term peace and stability.

After arranging all this, Li Yang could only wait quietly now.

Now his battle line is quite long.

In the south, Sun Ce and Wang Qi, Li Jing, Gan Ning and Zhao Junrui needless to say, the battle is hot, and the casualties on both sides are slowly increasing.

Tai Shici in the north, after being escorted to Bohai County by Mo Long, who was left behind by the town navy, did not stop all the way.

Although the battle report was like a bamboo, the casualties were also quite large, and their supply became a big problem.

After all, Youzhou is not the home of the Sulong Chamber of Commerce, and the grain and grass materials are limited after all, but fortunately, there are grain and grass snatched from the enemy's military warehouses to support it until now.

Thinking of this, Li Yang is actually quite envious of Zhang Hua, who can unscrupulously snatch the grain and grass of the family and even the people to replenish himself, of course, this is not a long-term solution, but for a while, their supplies are not only quite sufficient, but there is still an unusually large surplus.

In addition to the two teams against Xuanyuan Honglie, there were also two armies attacking Cao Cao's forces.

One is the Taishan army led by Guan Yu, and now it is firmly eyeing the Tiger Prison Pass.

The casualties of this army were the lowest, although they were facing the first Xiongguan in the world, but because they did not go to the onslaught, and even besieged and did not attack for several months, there were not so many casualties.

This is also in Li Yang's plan.

The other team is the key.

The more than 300,000 elite troops led by Huang Zhong were the ones who had ambushed Xuanyuan Honglie and pretended to be defeated and suffered heavy losses, but now they were besieged in the rear of Tongguan, directly cutting off the supply of Su Qin's troops.

Although Su Qin's ability is very strong, he is helpless in such a situation of being helpless, and he can't give full play to his ability.

The crisis here is the key to attracting Cao Cao's reinforcements, and the purpose is to gather Cao Cao's main attention to Tongguan.

At this time, Huang Zhong had already received Li Yang's letter and understood the next step.

Huang Zhong led his troops to perform a play outside Tongguan for more than half a month, and finally got the news that Cao Cao's army had returned to Sili.

So, taking advantage of a dark night, Huang Zhong led people to quietly leave outside Tongguan, leaving only an empty camp, plus dozens of soldiers, hanging sheep and drumming.

For this kind of strategy, in fact, Su Qin couldn't hide it, after all, Huang Zhong had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, not thousands. But there was no way, even if he knew, it would be impossible for him to lead the army to pursue, because his main energy was on Guo Yan and Li Dao.

I don't know what kind of illness these two committed, since they came with the army, they began to attack frantically, and at first Su Qin was able to deal with it, until there was a force behind them.

Now that the force is gone, it reassures him a little.

Let's talk about Huang Zhong here first, with soldiers and horses to the edge of the Yellow River, a small town called Fishing Town, which is close to the Yellow River.

Originally, the Yellow River here was not wide, but with the blessing of the century, there was no problem with taking a big boat.

A port not far from the town is now home to several large ships that are pitch black.

These are the Molong warships that came to pick up Huang Zhong and them.

Like the original crusade against Dong Zhuo, Li Yang chose to use his most powerful water transportation line to let Huang Zhong's army quietly come to Sili, and at the same time leave like this.

Li Yang has this confidence, on the Yellow River, no one can wrestle with him, so this is the safest and most secret mode of transportation.

Even in the past few months, the military supplies of Huang Zhong's army have been transported back and forth through Molong.

Of course, the appearance of such a large warship will definitely be detected afterwards, but does that matter?

After Huang Zhong led his soldiers and horses to a few ink dragons, the huge black battleship quickly sailed away from the town.

By the time Cao Cao tracked them down, they were long gone.

After learning about the huge black battleship, Cao Cao knew that this was Li Yang's ghost, and he was quite angry in his heart, and even regretted that he didn't take advantage of the battle between Li Yang and Xuanyuan to attack Li Yang, but to fight Zhang Hua.

But now is not the time to think about this, because Tongguan is already in danger.

The troops in Su Qin's hands were originally much less than those of Guo Yan and Li Dao, and under the attack from both sides, the loss was quite serious.

If it weren't for the commander of Su Qin, I'm afraid it would have collapsed by now, and Tongguan would have been out of his hands long ago.

Therefore, after Cao Cao returned to help, he personally led the army and went straight here, and he made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity to fight all the way to Chang'an, and completely kill Guo Yan and Li Dao, so as to prevent future troubles.

The addition of Cao Cao's army made the battle more intense, but the two sides that were originally superior and inferior reversed.

Li Dao Guo Yan, who had been on a fierce offensive, was now the one who was attacked.

That's right, after Cao Cao's army came back, he did not continue to defend, but directly took the initiative to attack and caught the two of them off guard.

Cao Cao did this, although it led to an increase in his own casualties, but it also directly repelled Guo Yan and Li Dao.

And Cao Cao followed closely in pursuit, biting hard, chasing Guo Yan and Li Dao all the way back to Chang'an.

When Li Yang received this news, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Guo Yan and Li Dao seem to be here to be funny.

The two of them don't have a lot of military strength in their hands, and even most of them are the elite left by Dong Zhuo at the beginning.

Originally, when Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang Army, he looked at it with all his might, even if he confronted the princes of the Nineteenth Road, he could pass hundreds of rounds, but now when it came to the two of them, they were repeatedly defeated and had no victory.

However, the life and death of the two of them did not touch Li Yang at all, but it was good news.

Because Cao Cao's main force attacked again.

Then, he ordered someone to send a message to Huang Zhong, and the next plan could be implemented.

At the same time, he also received a letter from Changshan.

As Zhang Liang guessed, Zhang Hua agreed to his suggestion.

No matter what little Jiujiu the two of them have in their hearts, now it can be regarded as a strategic cooperation.

Li Yang once again ordered someone to pass on the message, and ordered Tai Shici to march directly to Changshan and besiege Xuanyuan Honglie.

At the same time, just in case, he asked Dong Su to transport a large amount of grain and grass supplies to the Tiger Legion in advance.

Although it is not enough for them to use for a long time, it can still respond to emergencies in case of emergencies.

…………

Returning to Huang Zhong's side, after receiving Li Yang's order, they 'wandered' from the Yellow River back to a river bank in Sili County.

Then the army disembarked and drove directly towards a Xiongguan.

Huang Zhong's target is the Bishui Pass, which corresponds to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Bishui Pass is now also heavily guarded, after all, it is also the gateway for Yanzhou to enter the division, and Cao Cao will not fail to defend it.

But compared to the main line of attack and defense, there is still a little laxity here.

At the same time, Guan Yu left about 100,000 Taishan troops to paralyze the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass, and personally led the main force of Taishan Army and siege equipment, which had also quietly come to the other side of Bishui Pass.

This time, they plan to quickly take the Bishui Pass.

is like crusading against Dong Zhuo, the same strategy, the same means, but it can achieve the same effect.

Without any accidents, under the attack of the two major armies on both sides, Bishui Guan did not hold out for half a day, and was completely captured.
